Why not make the minimum wage $20.00 an hour? Or $30.00?

If you are going to make a political statement, make one. Don't blab that making 10,600 a year is poverty when your solution makes the new annual wage 11,900.

Great chart! Thanks for posting that!

Did you put it together, or someone else (in which case: link, please).

I'd like to link the original on one of my web pages.

Thanks!
